Three clusters of secure bike lockers havebeen installed conveniently in the two Green P parking lots of Liberty Village.  Each cluster consists of 5 lockers.  The lockers can be rented through the Liberty Village BIA at acost of $10. per month, plus a one-time payable security deposit of $20.

The lockers offer protection from theft, vandalism and inclement weather, beyond what would be provided by conventional bicycle racks. The lockers provide an alternative storage solution for those Liberty Village cyclists that haul their bikes into their offices for safe storage.  These safe and secure lockers are the first for Liberty Village. We hope you can join us to appreciate these functional yet artistic additions to the creative Liberty Village public space. Ride your bike!

Share the drive to and from work - The Liberty Village Carpool Zone is available, for both drivers and passengers!

The LVBIA has partnered with Smart Commute Toronto-Central to give Liberty Villagers options for commuting between work and home.  The Smart Commute Toronto carpool site is a ride matching registry for both drivers and riders that is completely free to use.  The registry permits you to anonymously list your car-share preferences and search for ride-matches based on location, route, hobbies, and more.  Traffic congestion is listed as the Number 1 cost of doing business, and the LVBIA is interested in assisting area businesses with their daily commutes and in supporting sustainable transportation options.  

To register and to get the program details visit: www.smartcommutetoronto.ca and click on Carpool Zone.

Then you can  select Liberty Village from the drop-down menu to find your carpool match today!
